i’m not a morning person…in fact, i find it sooooo difficult to wake up early…tho i make it a point to wake up at 6 in the morning, to speak with my Special Someone….

it’s been a couple of years already since i attended novena masses…i wasn’t even able to attend misa de gallo masses last year, coz i’d usually wake up late for the mass…it’s when ate marlie informed me of the start of the novena for the Pentecost this year, that i suddenly had the "interest" and the "drive" to attend….i informed my friends and officemates about the said Novena…

it was actually funny that my forgetfulness has brought me to attend the early morning mass a day earlier than the schedule….but well, nothing happens by accident.  and it’s not as bad to "accidentally" attend a mass….i was happy to note that my spirit and body are now in agreement for this one…

during those days, it could be noticed that most of the people who attended were senior than me….i think, it’s only me, oress and bro. joseph who seemed to represent our generation (tho my beloved yan2 would sometimes come with me, if he happens to wake up early)…everytime i’d attend the mass, i’d look around those people attending…and i was wondering why a lot of us were there to attend an early morning mass….is it because we are praying for something to be granted to us? or was it because we wanted a problem to be solved? or was there a confusion that we wanted to be enlightened by the Holy Spirit?  whatever the reasons were, the glaring fact was: WE WERE THERE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT IT’S ONLY IN GOD THAT WE COULD FIND TRUE LIFE, LOVE AND SOLUTION TO EVERY SITUATION/ QUESTIONS WE HAVE IN OUR LIFE AND MIND NOW….

9 mornings could seem so long and dragging…but for us who attended the masses, it’s a celebration we would eagerly look forward to….the homilies were very soul-enriching…the love of the friends there greatly manifested God’s great love…and the peace we had in that Chapel of the Poor Clare’s Monastery, was a good respite for the stress/ troubles/ fatigue, we experienced in our daily routine…

i do believe that God has His way of answering our prayers…and in my heart, i know He has answered mine, maybe not as i expected it but in His ways…i just want to thank the Lord for letting me thru and for allowing the Spirit’s  gift of joy, patience, perseverance and love grow in my being, thru those nine mornings…..
